BlackFormat’s Guide to Art Basel 2011

The year is quickly coming to an end! I can forsee 2012 will bring a lot of great music, design, illustration, art, love and money for all of us. But for now we are just going to have to content ourselves with one of the best events of the year, art basel. Unfortunately, Art Basel is nothing more than the city of Miami, Florida taken over amazing art and music for about a week.

So if you are in Miami and you want to hang out with the Black Format crew, post a message on the comments section we will contact you!
